Notes: The thirteenth century saw the development of small, portable Bibles. Romanesque Bibles had been large-format, grand productions. In order to create an easily carried, single-volume bible the script became extremely small. In this example, the scribe wrote ten lines to the inch. This was also a time that Bibles acquired the standardized chapter numbers that we find in modern Bibles. To make using the Bible even easier, many included concordances, like the one shown here.
